Collectible coins, often referred to as numismatic items, are coins sought after by collectors for their historical, aesthetic, and monetary value. The United States has produced numerous collectible coins, including patterns, which are experimental pieces created to test designs or production techniques before official minting. A notable example includes the 1866 P5c (5-cent coin) pattern produced in Philadelphia, which showcases a unique design that was never adopted for circulation, making it highly sought after by collectors.
